Comic Wayne Brady, Wife Divorcing

Whose Line is it Anyway? star Wayne Brady's wife, Mandie, has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

According to documents filed Monday, Brady, 35, and the former Mandie Taketa, 31, married on April 5, 1999, and separated on that day in 2006.

They have a 4-year-old daughter, Maile. In her petition, Mandie requests joint legal and physical custody. She also requests spousal support, but asks that she and Brady pay their own legal fees.

"The split is very amicable and they continue to remain the best of friends and committed parents," Brady's rep tells PEOPLE.

Brady joined Whose Line in 1996, and from 2002-2004 hosted his own variety program, The Wayne Brady Show, which snagged four Daytime Emmys. Mandie, a former dancer, became a stay-at-home mom after the birth of Maile, whose name is the Hawaiian word for the leaf found in leis.

Shia LaBeouf on Dating: 'I'm Not That Smooth'

While plenty of young actors end up dating their beautiful costars, Shia LaBeouf, who's worked with Amy Smart and Megan Fox, says that's not his style.

"It's really easy to fall for someone on-set, but in the end you know, it's a representative and it's not really them," the actor, 21, tells Vanity Fair in its August issue.

Instead LaBeouf tends to meet girls through his friends. "There have been real innocent dates," he says. "They haven't been, like, 'Come to my house and I'll make you some food and we'll caress and put on some D'Angelo.' I'm not that smooth."

But that doesn't mean he hasn't found a girlfriend on a movie set. LaBeouf tells the magazine that he's still not over his first love, a producer's daughter named China Brezner, whom he met when he was filming The Greatest Game Ever Played.

"We were inseparable," LaBeouf says. "She was my best friend and my love."


The pair dated for three years but ended their relationship in the spring. "My focus became so work-related that I couldn't devote any time to a relationship," he says. "It was unfair to her."

As for how he's coping since the breakup, he says it's "like rebuilding after a tornado."

But LaBeouf, who is currently working on the upcoming Indiana Jones sequel, is staying focused on his career and even opted to skip the college-age tradition of getting drunk on your 21st birthday, which he celebrated on June 11.

"I won't have a sip until after Indy," he says. "People say, 'What are you doing for your 21st birthday, Shia?' And I'm like, 'I'm making an Indiana Jones movie.' What's better than that?"

Jason Priestley, Wife Naomi Have a Girl

Former Beverly Hills, 90210 star Jason Priestley and his wife, Naomi Lowde, have welcomed a baby girl, PEOPLE confirms.

This is the first child for the actor and his wife, who wed in May 2005.

Priestley, 37, and Lowde, a 31-year-old makeup artist, met in London and became engaged in May 2004. Priestley's former 90210 costars Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Tiffani Thiessen and Tori Spelling attended their wedding on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

Before getting married, the couple had been together for four years, during which Lowde helped Priestley recover from a near-fatal race car accident in August 2002, when he crashed head-on into a wall at the Kentucky Speedway.
